Niamh Cassidy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Niamh is currently in a business partnership with her cousin Orla. When Niamh was still a student in secondary school, she was infatuated with her teacher Barry and they had a passionate clinch. When Niamh lied that Barry seduced her, he nearly lost his job, but she eventually told the truth. Later on, Niamh and Barry got engaged. Derek kidnapped her and Barry recesued her, but as the wedding day was approaching, Niamh started to have second thoughts and she realised that she was in love with Paul Brennan, who was Barry's best friend. The wedding was called off, but Niamh intially decided to stay in a relationship with Barry, but she then broke up with him in public and continued her affair with Paul.
When Barry found out that Niamh had been two-timing him with his best friend, he began a downward spiral and spent Christmas at home drinking and feeling depressed. Niamh and Paul was shocked to see a depressed Barry arrive at their house. Nicola, disgusted by this, wanted Niamh out of their computer business, Blue Dolphin. When the company merged with Industrial Illusions, their representative, Conor, wanted to downsize Blue Dolphin, getting rid of Niamh in the process. Niamh, knowning that Conor had bullied her, was horrified. Donal obsigned and Niamh's job was saved. After Blue Dolphin ended its merger with Industrial Illusions, Nicola decided to become free-lance, while the others continued running Blue Dolphin.
When Niamh found out that Nicola had a one-night stand with Paul, Nicola and Niamh became rivals, much like Ash Ketchum and Gary Oak. When Derek was released from prison, he began a relationship with Niamh, who was on the re-bound. He met his death when he was killed by a criminal gang. As the years went on, Niamh and Nicola ended their rivalry and soon became best friends, when Niamh helped Nicola get through her ordeal of surviving breast cancer. When Nicola was preparing to leave Carrigstown, she couldn't find the right moment to tell her best friend. When Niamh found out, she was infuriated, but she bid Nicola farewell.
